Asustek Retracts, Puts Qualcomm Android Eee PC on Ice
June 1 Qualcomm presented its new superflat Eee PC with Snapdragon chipset and Xandros or Android to the public. But the enthusiasm waned shortly thereafter.
The Eee PC wasn't yet market ready, said Jonathan Tsang, vice chairman of Asutek, at the sidelines of a press conference at Computex Teipei, according to an ComputerWorld. Tsang added, "For the time being this project is not a priority because our engineering resources are limited."
This might be believable under circumstances, but it gets better: Asustek chairman Jonney Shih himself apologized at the press conference that the Android notebook was even displayed at Qualcomm's booth, as Gizmodo reports. "I think this is a company decision so far [that] we would not like to show this device."
It begs the question, to whom is he apologizing? Perhaps to the vice president of their OEM Microsoft, Steven Guggenheim, who stood with him onstage, or to Intel's vice president Sean Maloney? Both were there to strengthen further collaboration with Asustek. But, at least for Microsoft, a Linux netbook in the works has not been high on its list.
As presented, the Qualcomm Eee PC not only looks fantastic, but would come at a markedly better price than the Intel model from Windows, the Eee PC chip is fanless and it plays back 720p videos flawlessly. Microsoft naturally wouldn't want a competitor to ruin its Christmas season and most likely pulled the emergency brake. Acer Inc. should be happy with that, according to Reuters: the world's number three PC brand has already announced an Android netbook for the third quarter of 2009.

I enquired about bridal hair and make-up nearly a year prior to my wedding, and Terry was very receptive and pleasant on the phone. Approximately 4 months prior to my wedding, I scheduled a trial hair and make-up. I was told I would be working with Sean.
My mother and aunt travelled all the way from NJ specifically to join me for the trial. When we arrived at the studio, we were informed that Sean was running about 15 minutes late, due to traffic related to an accident. I was disappointed that no one had called to let us know, but we sat there and waited. Unfortunately, after nearly 40 minutes, he had not arrived. The staff were nice, offering to reschedule for the following day, Sunday, even though the studio is typically closed then. We said we were interested in rescheduling, especially since my family had travelled 3 hours.
Sean called later that day, and was extremely apologetic. Apparently he had been involved in the accident, so of course, I was completely understanding. He offered to reschedule for the following day. I told him I just needed to double-check with my mom and aunt (who were at church at that moment), and that I would call back shortly. He promised he would be available all night, and that I could call or text his cell at any time. I texted him approximately 2 hours later (around 7pm) to say that we were definitely interested in rescheduling for the following day. I never heard back. Early the next morning, I called and left a message. Again, I never heard back.
Needless to say, by that point I was completely appalled by the salon and service. While it is understandable that emergencies occur, I should have been informed of the delay prior to my arrival at the salon. Additionally, never hearing back from a stylist despite my interest in rescheduling is simply unacceptable and very poor customer service. Finally, I never received a phone call or apology from the owner, Terry. I'm very disappointed, not only by the disaster of that weekend, but because multiple other stylists I have contacted are now booked on my wedding date.
I do not recommend this salon for formal services due to the unreliability and lack of responsiveness.
Horrible! – This place needs some serious work. I paid $30 to get half an inch trimmed off the bottom of my hair and I didn't even get it washed!!!!! I will never return to this hair salon again! (Very disappointed.) I've never paid so much for a trim in my life!

The Patriots played without Gronk most of the year. They can win without him.
Baltimore beat an over rated Denver that beat itself as much as anything.
If the Patriots don't turn the ball over, they should win. They are a better team than the one that blew that game in Baltimore earlier in the season.

By the numbers: Harvin's MVP bid
This story originally published on
Percy Harvin (Tim Fuller/US Presswire)
John Holler
Posted Oct 14, 2012
No wide receiver has ever won the Associated Press MVP award, but Percy Harvin's versatility should make him a legitimate candidate if his production continues. Plus, an in-depth look at the numbers and rankings between the Vikings and Redskins.
When the chatter first began about
Percy Harvin
being an MVP candidate, most people with a sense of history, scoffed at the idea. A wide receiver has never won the league MVP, despite some monster seasons being put up.
Perhaps the most obvious was in the strike-shortened 1987 season. In just 12 games, Jerry Rice caught 65 passes for 1,078 yards and 22 touchdowns. Projected out over 16 games, Rice would have caught 87 passes for 1,437 yards and an untouchable record of 29 touchdowns. Instead, the award went to John Elway, who, if his numbers would have been extrapolated out over 16 games, would have thrown 25 touchdowns – to every potential receiver on the Denver roster. He wins the MVP with what would have been four less TD passes thrown than Rice caught. At that point, you knew the wide receiver fix was in.
The other clear example of a wide receiver that should have won the MVP came in 2007. Granted,
Tom Brady
threw for 4,806 yards and a league-record 50 touchdown passes, but much of that was due to Randy Moss, who was acquired in the offseason for a fourth-round pick that was lower than what Seattle received for making a draft weekend trade the same day for trivia answer
Darrell Jackson
. That season, Moss, thought to be a has-been after a pair of nondescript seasons in Oakland, caught 98 passes for 1,493 yards and a league-record 23 touchdowns, despite being routinely double-teamed throughout the perfect regular season the Patriots posted. What he accomplished in his 10th NFL season was unprecedented, but not enough to win the MVP.
That shouldn't be surprising, however. At the one position where defenses can commit enough players to take him away from an offense, a wide receiver has never won a Most Valuable Player award.
The last five league MVPs have been quarterbacks, as well as nine of the last 11 (technically 10, since the award in 2003 was shared between QBs
Peyton Manning
and Steve McNair). Since the award was first presented in 1957 to legendary running back Jim Brown, only three times has the award not gone to a quarterback or running back – Vikings defensive tackle Alan Page in 1971, Washington kicker Mark Moseley in 1982 and New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1986. A wide receiver has never won the award, but given Harvin's contribution to the Vikings, an argument can be made that he should be in serious consideration if he keeps up his current pace.
Through five games, Harvin leads all wide receivers with 38 receptions and trails only
Tony Gonzalez
of the Falcons for the league lead – Gonzo enters play today with 39 receptions. Harvin is on pace to catch 122 passes for 1,302 yards – gaudy totals that would have his ticket punched to Honolulu for the Pro Bowl. But that is only part of the story. Harvin is also used as a running threat out of the backfield. Last week, he scored a rushing touchdown on a play in which he lined up as a running back and ran the ball between the tackles with the same ferocity as
Adrian Peterson
. While his rushing numbers to date have been relatively modest (13 carries for 62 yards), it is a testament to his versatility. Most wide receivers only touch the ball in the run game on the occasional gimmick reverse or end-around. Harvin lines up as a running back and does it well.
However, the wild card for making a case for Harvin to be a legitimate MVP candidate comes in the fact that he has replaced
Devin Hester
as the most dangerous return man in the NFL. He has only been allowed to return nine kickoffs but is averaging 38.3 yards per return and it was his opening kickoff return for a touchdown that set the tone in the Vikings road win over Detroit Sept. 30. He has been so dangerous as a return man that teams have opted to pooch kick and allow the Vikings offense to open shop at or around the 35-yard line simply because the opponent made the calculated decision not to kick deep to Harvin.
That aspect of the conversation can't be overstated. With the move of the kickoff line up five yards, half of all kickoffs result in touchbacks. Strong legged kickers get more than that. For example,
Blair Walsh
has had 27 kickoffs – 63 percent of which (17) have been touchbacks. When you look at the Vikings kick-return stats,
Matt Asiata
has returned two, defensive linemen Christian Ballard and De'Aundrae Reed have one each and tight end
Rhett Ellison
called a fair catch. Why? Because special teams coaches are so terrified of Harvin that they will sacrifice yardage in order to assure themselves of not getting burned by a potential game-changing special teams touchdown.
The question that typically should be asked about a player who is a Most Valuable Player is how do you define most valuable? For my money, Reggie White should have won it at least once. The same goes for
Ray Lewis
Ed Reed
. I firmly believe Rice got jobbed in 1987, and I can argue that Moss deserved to be the MVP in 2007. He broke a touchdown record at his position that had stood for 20 years. The touchdown record Brady broke had been set three years earlier. It can be argued that a Most Valuable Player is the player most indispensable to his team. Where would the team be without him?
When Tom Brady went down in the first quarter of the first game of the 2008 season, the Patriots still won 10 games that year. There is no questioning that Brady has been and remains a vital cog to the Patriots machine. But New England found ways to win with his backup. Would the Vikings be 4-1 at this point of the season without Harvin? Not a chance. That alone makes his candidacy for MVP not only possible, but legitimate.
The Vikings have the 20th-ranked offense in the NFL (9th rushing, 24th passing) and the seventh-ranked defense (6th rushing, 14th passing).
Washington has the seventh-ranked offense (4th rushing, 17th passing) and the 26th-ranked defense (10th rushing, 31st passing).
The Vikings offense is averaging 344 yards a game (211 passing, 133 rushing). Washington is averaging 401 yards a game (238 passing, 163 rushing).
The Vikings defense is allowing 302 yards a game (226 passing, 78 rushing). Washington is allowing 416 yards a game (328 passing, 88 rushing). The Redskins are third in the league in average per rushing attempt, averaging 5.1 yards per rush, and are second in the NFL in yards per pass attempt (8.6 yards).
Neither team has been good on third-down offense. The Vikings rank 22nd, converting 22 of 62 third-down opportunities (35.5 percent). The Redskins are dead last, converting just 14 of 60 third-down attempts (23.3 percent). The league average is 38.3 percent.
Neither team is very good on third-down defense either. The Redskins rank 20th in the league, allowing 39.3 percent of third downs to be converted (24 of 61). The Vikings are 26th, allowing conversions on 34 of 77 opportunities (44.2 percent).
The Vikings have the fourth-ranked punt return average in the league and are second in kickoff returns.
The Redskins have the worst field goal percentage of any team in the league, as
Billy Cundiff
missed five of 12 attempts this year – which could explain why he was cut earlier this week.
The Viking are second in the league in rush average on defense, allowing just 3.2 yards per rushing attempt. Only Miami (2.7) is better.
The Redskins are fifth in the league in giveaway-takeaway ratio at plus-7 (11 takeaways, 4 giveaways). The Vikings are tied for 14th at plus-1 (7 takeaways, 4 giveaways).
The Vikings are ninth in the league in red zone offense, scoring touchdowns on 60 percent of their offensive drives (nine of 15 chances). The Redskins are right behind them in 10th place, scoring on 58.8 percent of their red zone chances (10 of 17).
The Vikings are one of only five teams in the NFL that have scored on every one of their offensive red zone opportunities.
Minnesota has the fifth-ranked red zone defense, allowing touchdowns on just five of 14 chances (35.7 percent). The Redskins are tied for 23rd, allowing touchdowns on 62.5 percent (10 of 16).
Robert Griffin
III has two 300-yard passing games.
Christian Ponder
has yet to have a 300-yard game this season.
That might change for Ponder this week. In five games, the Redskins have allowed four quarterbacks to throw for 300 or more yards. The Vikings have allowed one 300-yard passing game (Detroit's
Matthew Stafford
In one of the crazier stats of the year, Washington has allowed six 100-yard receivers in five games, including one in each game and two in one game (vs. Tampa Bay). The Vikings have allowed one 100-yard receiver.
Harvin has two 100-yard receiving games.
Pierre Garcon
has the only 100-yard receiving day for Washington.
Alfred Morris
has two 100-yard rushing games. Adrian Peterson has one for the Vikings.
Neither Washington nor Minnesota has allowed a 100-yard rusher this season.
Griffin is first in the league in completion percentage (69.1 percent), followed closely by Ponder (69.0 percent).
Griffin is second in the league in average yards per pass attempt (8.35). Ponder is 22nd in that category (6.85).
Ponder was the last QB to not throw an interception, but, after throwing two last week, he is tied for fifth in the league. RG3 is tied for first with one.
Griffin has the fifth-best passer rating in the league at 101.0. Ponder is 10th with a passer rating of 95.5.
Ponder is fourth in the league in fourth-quarter passer rating at 116.5, while Griffin is 20th at 86.1.
Neither QB has been overly effective on third downs. Griffin is 13th with a passer rating of 86.6, while Ponder is 22nd at 74.4, including both of his interceptions.
Morris is fourth in the league in rushing with 491 yards. Peterson is eighth with 420 rushing yards.
Harvin is tied for second in the league in receptions with 38, trailing only Tony Gonzalez of Atlanta, who has 39. Tight end
Fred Davis
leads the Redskins with 20 receptions, which ties him for 44th in the league.
Harvin is 11th in the league in receiving yardage with 407. Davis leads Washington with 266 yards, which ranks him 43rd in the NFL.
Griffin and Morris are both tied for fifth in the league in scoring among non-kickers with 24 points – each has run in four touchdowns.
Kyle Rudolph
is also tied for fifth with four receiving TDs.
Blair Walsh is third in the league in scoring with 48 points in five games.
Walsh also has 17 kickoffs for a touchback, leaving him just two behind the full-season total of 19 Ryan Longwell had last season.
Morris is 10th in the league in total yards from scrimmage with 507 (491 rushing, 16 receiving). Peterson is 13th with 499 yards (420 rushing, 79 receiving). Harvin is 21st with 469 yards from scrimmage (407 receiving, 62 rushing).
Marcus Sherels
is third in the league in punt return average (14.9 yards) and Harvin leads the league with a 38.3-yard kickoff average.
Washington has been outscored 63-27 in the fourth quarter of games this year. In the first three quarters, they have outscored their opponents 113-84.
The Vikings have outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters and overtime – 27-13 in the first quarter, 29-22 in the second, 24-16 in the third, 37-28 in the fourth and 3-0 in overtime.

GreatSchools Rating
I had the chance to work here during the summer and found it to be resource-rich, caring and well-managed.
My daughter is 2nd grade student at Bella Vista. She love it so much. The teachers are wonderful. And the new Principle is working so hard, and very nice.
BAD SCHOOl! Run by hipocrets that pretend to care when all they care for is their pay checks .---------------------------------------------------------------------
My daughter is about to finish 1st grade and we have had a good experience here. The teachers are all involved - so much so that I've had parents from other grades come up to me and comment on my child. The current principal will be finishing up her first year here and while many probably still miss Ms. Yip (who can blame them) - personally speaking I think the new principal has stepped up to the plate. She's involved and strait forward. Only flaw with this school is the fact that they're so busy getting all the kids who cannot speak English caught up that kids like my daughter can get forgotten/get bored. Thankfully her teacher realized this and was proactive enough to make modifications into her lesson plan. While some of the parents may be less than appealing (parking in the middle of the street or not being at all involved) - all in all I couldn't be much happier.
My daughter is a student at Bella Vista and will enter the 1st grade in a week. She loved her kindergarten teacher and flourished in their program. However, the building is falling apart and the neighborhood isn t amazing. And to top it off the office staff is terrible. They have little to no information on after school programs. They rely heavily on the CDC to provide info to parents. No one in the office has the initiative to partner up with local after school centers or to create a day care referral list of for working parents. This school is great for parents with extended family members who can assist with child pick up and drop off. But if you are a single parent, be prepared to be frustrated at the office staff and their lack of initiative and constant blank looks. Any information they do give is incorrect or outdated.
my son has been to this school since kinder and now second grade, i think this is an ok school as far as comparing to other oakland schools. i admit there are lack of after school activities but as far as academic they are alot better than some of the ele. schools in oak. so far my son has some of the best teachers, caring, kind,loving, easy to talk to.
This school is an absolute gem! Principal Yip is a great leader...fair, approachable, very involved in her school. Teacher quality is excellent. Many of the teachers have been there 10 years or more. My daughter said that her 5th grade teacher is the nicest teacher she's ever had! She has had a tough year this year...this is her 4th school this year. So we are new to Bella Vista, but after such a difficult year and dealing with uncaring staff at other schools (uh-em...Glenview) she has blended right in at Bella Vista. Please check out this school as another option in Oakland for your child! Very diverse student population, and they have a beautiful remodeled playyard and a computer lab.
good school to me teachers are nice
My daughter has been at Bella Vista for grades 4 and 5. I found the education offered there to be very poor. They seem to simply 'pass' the child with no regard to her/his academis achievements. There are no extracurricular activities. Supervision is lax. The teachers rarely return homework, so unless you persistently (weekly) enquire about test scores, homework, progress etc., you are not aware of your child's standings until grades are issued. My suggestion is to run from this school.
My son was at Bella Vista a few months, and although the teachers seemed to really care about the students, I don't think that they get much support from the principal. The Kindergarten classes were held downstairs in a gloomy looking part of the school, and the schedule did not allow any time for play. I think the teachers do the best they can with what they have to work with though.

Overview of the Department
Photo by Marsha Miller
The Department of Sociology at The University of Texas at Austin is one of the largest and most highly ranked sociology departments in the country. Our outstanding group of 42 tenured or tenure-track faculty members allows us to offer an excellent range of opportunities - both inside and outside the classroom - for undergraduate and graduate students. The 2013 US News and World Report Guide to Graduate Departments ranked our program 7th among public universities, and tied for 14th among all universities. This high esteem, along with the very high quality of life in the Austin metropolitan area, makes it easy to see why our department has become a very attractive place for many leading sociologists to make UT-Austin their home!
The UT Department of Sociology currently serves as the academic home for 105 graduate students and over 600 undergraduate majors. We place tremendous value on our core training in sociological theory as well as methods and statistics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We build on that core with a myriad of course offerings in areas such as criminology and deviance, demography, education, family, gender, health, political sociology, race and ethnicity, and social stratification.
Our Faculty
Our faculty are extremely research-active, placing great value on not only disseminating social scientific knowledge but also producing such knowledge - typically working alongside our students. Our faculty regularly publish articles in the leading general and specialty journals of our discipline, and books in leading scholarly presses; many of our faculty and students also have their work funded by grants from the federal government and private foundations. Our faculty and students regularly present at conferences throughout the country and in international settings, and are actively sought out by policymakers for advice and by the press for the public's better understanding of social trends and issues. While our faculty provide strong academic instruction in the classroom, we work very closely with students in the research arena, with many co-authored publications and presentations resulting from faculty-student collaborations in outlets such as the American Sociological Review, Demography, Social Forces, and the Latin American Research Review, and in conferences at the American Sociological Association, the Population Association of America, and many others.
Our faculty have won numerous awards, including the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award, the SWS Distinguished Feminist Lecturership, the American Society of Criminology Fellowship, the Warren E. Miller Award, the Liberal Arts Pro Bene Meritis Award, PAA and SSHD Early Career Achievement Awards, ASA Distinguished Scholarly Book Awards, the Tech Innovation Special Achievement Award, and many more. In addition, we have hosted editorships to many internationally renowned journals, including Qualitative Sociology, Gender & Society, the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, and the Journal of Marriage and Family. The Sociology Department and the Population Research Center also house the Urban Ethnography Lab, which aims to forge strong ties between the fields of demography and ethnography. The faculty and current research sections on this website provide a more in-depth look at the areas of specialization and research activity of our very productive and diverse group of scholars.
Undergraduate Program
The B.A. in Sociology offers students a variety of potential career opportunities. Students will be able to draw on a broad educational background, very attractive to potential employers, with knowledge of the Sociology discipline plus a minor field, effective verbal and written communication skills in English and at least one other language, time management skills, intellectual maturity, and the ability to think critically.
Our students actively participate in research activities alongside faculty members, with the Sociology Honors Program and the Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD) Sociology Honors Society serving as the cores of our upper-division student activity. Our students have also recently created and developed Sociological Insight, a national, peer-reviewed journal of undergraduate sociological research. Please See the Sociology Organizations website for more information. Our undergraduate alumni go on to some of the leading graduate programs and law schools around the country, or on to very productive careers in state and local governments, the private sector, and the non-profit sector.
Graduate Program
The UT Department of Sociology is currently the academic home for 105 M.A. and Ph.D. students. Our students come from every part of the United States and the world, including the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, the People's Republic of China, Mexico, Chile, Turkey, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and others. Our students have been extremely competitive for funding opportunities such as prestigious dissertation fellowships, internships, postdoctoral fellowships, and on the academic and non-academic job markets. Students have received the William Powers Jr. Fellowship, the Harry E. and Bernice M. Moore Fellowship, the Donald D. Harrington Fellowship, the Lora Romero Memorial Award, the ASA Minority Fellowship, the ASA Medical Sociology Award, the Academic Keys Future Faculty Grant Award, and numerous article and presentation awards. In 2011 the Department established The Norval Glenn Prize, in honor of Professor Emeritus Norval Glenn and his many contributions to the field of family sociology, and recipients are given a financial award for the best paper in the area of family sociology.
The Department of Sociology is committed to placing our Ph.D. graduates in influential academic, government, and nonprofit organizations. A number of professional development resources and workshops are available throughout the year offering guidance in the preparation of CVs, research and teaching statements, writing samples, and job talks. In recent years, PhD graduates from our program have won postdoctoral fellowships at Brown University, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, University of California at Berkeley, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Harvard University, Princeton University, and more. Our PhD graduates also now serve on the faculty at many prestigious universities around the country, including Princeton University, Duke University, UCLA, Penn State University, Rice University, and many more. Many others hold important research positions in federal government, state government, and private settings, such as the United Nations, the US Bureau of the Census, the Urban Institute, and the Alan Guttmacher Institute.
We encourage you to explore the webpages of our faculty and students to look at their research and teaching interests, to contact our Graduate Coordinator (Evelyn Porter) or our Undergraduate Advisor (Debbie Rothschild) if you are interested in one of our programs, and to take some of the many exciting and important courses that our faculty members have to offer!

Community responds to Sandy
Superstorm Sandy was the largest, most intense storm ever to make landfall in the Northeast. It raised havoc with 10 million electric customers from Maryland to Maine, the most in U.S. history. Along the Connecticut shoreline, the storm ripped apart houses, seawalls and beaches, and forced the evacuations of thousands of our citizens. In some respects, the impact of this natural disaster will eclipse the toll imposed by the Great New England Hurricane of 1938.
Restoring power after a massive storm requires around-the-clock commitment and coordination, as we rebuild our system while navigating around thousands of fallen trees and devastated homes. Some have compared the process to a military operation. With roughly 840,000 customers affected by Sandy, we had to set more than 1,700 new poles and replace more than 105 miles of wire, the approximate distance from Mystic to Greenwich.

Last-minute holiday gifts for car lovers
Five fun automotive-themed holiday presents
The gift-giving season is upon us, and we've assembled a quick list of holiday car gifts just right for the car lover in your life. Before you give in to slipping cash in a card, check out a couple of high-tech tools and toys we tested this year.
Aftermarket navigation, infotainment and Bluetooth wireless connectivity
Parrot USA
Add aftermarket infotainment technology to your car for a fraction of the cost of buying it from the dealership.
Add aftermarket infotainment technology to your car for a fraction of the cost of buying it from the dealership.
Aftermarket technology add-ons can modernize a car for a fraction of the price of buying the equipment from the vehicle manufacturer.
Recently we tested Parrot's latest consumer technology—the Asteroid range of aftermarket infotainment systems comprised of the base Mini, larger Tablet and a fully integrated Smart system. These products offer varying degrees of infotainment features and are powered by Android technology; don't worry, they're compatible with all smartphones. Here's the breakdown:
• Smart—The top-of-the-line Smart model includes apps, navigation, video, music and hands-free calling. It has a 6.2-inch color touchscreen and GPS antenna for a complete navigation system. The Asteroid Smart suggested retail price is $599.
• Tablet—The Tablet includes apps, GPS, music and hands-free phone use. It has a five-inch color touchscreen and integrated GPS antenna. It can be installed on the dashboard or windshield like a GPS unit, then paired with a wireless touchpad that is mounted in a convenient location. It can access apps via 3G, 4G, Bluetooth, USB or a Wi-Fi network. The Asteroid Tablet has a suggested retail price of $399.
• Mini—The Asteroid Mini provides apps, music and hands-free calling. It has a 3.2-inch color screen, and comes with a GPS antenna and wireless remote control that attaches to the steering wheel. It connects to the Internet via 3G, 4G, Bluetooth or USB. Its suggested retail price is $299.
These tiny remote-control cars use a smartphone as the controller and are a ton of fun. Simply download the free DeskPets app and the digital remote control appears on your phone's touchscreen (works with iPhone, iPad, iPod and Android phones). These little cuties rev their engines and honk their horns like any other remote-control car but use a USB port to recharge instead of an adapter. Plug the CarBot into your laptop and when it's through charging the lights will flash and the engine will rev to alert you it's ready to roll! CarBots cost about $30 and can be purchased through amazon.com. Keep an eye out, too, for TankBots and TrekBots.
Lowrider coloring book
Dokument Press
Grab a box of freshly sharpened crayons, these pages await your creative finishing touches.
Grab a box of freshly sharpened crayons, these pages await your creative finishing touches.
This nifty gift costing less than $10 is pretty amazing. Illustrated by Oscar Nilsson, the coloring book contains 32 lowrider images spanning 60 years of this automotive art form.
Cool car accessories
If you love bacon as much as you love cars, marry the two by dangling a bacon air freshener ($2.99) from your rearview mirror. This terrific idea was one of our favorites featured on www.thinkgeek.com. Another was the package of superhero family decals ($10.99) for your rear window; beats stick figures any day.
*Honorable mention
These Bluetooth equipped stickers combined with a smartphone app will ensure you never loose your keys again.
These Bluetooth equipped stickers combined with a smartphone app will ensure you never loose your keys again.
Available in 2013
StickNFind—Never lose your keys again with a Bluetooth-capable sticker. Apply the quarter-size sticker to your keychain, TV remote or anything you tend to misplace.

Publications for Young People and Schools
WIPO has produced a range of publications aimed at young people and schools. These publications are designed to foster the creativity and inventiveness of future generations, while at the same time raising awareness about the value of intellectual property (IP).
Inventions and Patents
Inventions and Patents is the first publication in WIPO's Learn from the Past, Create the Future series for schoolchildren, the innovators of the future. It responds to the demand from Member States for practical and detailed curriculum materials on IP, suitable for use in classrooms around the world.
Combining fun with facts, and packed with illustrations, the publication takes young readers on a journey through the world of inventions and patents. Simple explanations of how patents work, why we need them, and how they contribute to scientific and technological progress, are interspersed with the stories behind successful inventions. Inventor Profiles are drawn from around the world, and teachers are encouraged to supplement these by getting their students to research inventions from their home country.
Teaching IP theory through practice
Geared towards students from 9 to 14 years' old, the publication is in the form of a workbook, which can be photocopied for classroom use. It teaches theory through practice, and IP concepts through case studies. To play the PCT Detective game, for example, students learn to search patent applications in WIPO's online PCT database.
Much of the material can be integrated into science classes. Teachers can build on the information provided by discussing with students the scientific principles behind some of the featured inventions, such as the combination of concave and convex lenses in the telescope, or the laws of thermodynamics in the Nigerian "pot-in-pot" cooling system.
Inventions and Patents debunks the stereotypes of inventors, and encourages students to recognize in themselves the essential qualities of curiosity, creativity and perseverance which enable individuals to invent. It concludes with a roadmap for inventing, taking students through the whole innovation process from idea to IP protection to commercialization.
Inventions and Patents is also available in Chinese , French , Russian and Spanish .
The Arts and Copyright
Aimed at 9 to 14 year-olds, The Arts and Copyright combines a comprehensive account of the principles of copyright law with concrete examples demonstrating how copyright and related rights work in practice to encourage creativity and protect created works.
Using simple terms and illustrations, the book explains how copyright limitations and the public domain provide a balance between the rights of creators and the public interest in accessing and using their works. The final chapter explores different forms of copyright infringement, from plagiarism to illegal file sharing, touching also on digital rights management.
"Young Author" profiles tell the stories of youngsters who have achieved distinction through their creative works - such as the best-selling author of the Eragon fantasy stories, Christopher Paolini, and 10-year-old Indian filmmaker Kisha Shrikanth.
Teaching copyright in a balanced way
The book provides young students with a well-rounded view of copyright by casting readers in different roles - first as creators then users of copyrighted works. Their knowledge is put to the test in games such as "Clear the Rights" and "Public Domain Detective." A sample letter enables readers to seek permission to use a copyrighted work in, for example, a school project.
The Arts and Copyright builds on the success of the first publication in WIPO's Learn from the Past, Create the Future series. Inventions and Patents has been successfully used in schools around the world, and has been translated into several languages. The workbooks are designed for use by teachers or by individual students without the need for support or access to additional resources.
Tomorrow's creators and consumers
Today's schoolchildren are tomorrow's games creators, graphic designers, writers, record producers, publishers. They are already avid consumers of music, films, books, software and the Internet. Equipping young people with a sound understanding of intellectual property is critical to developing a sustainable IP culture for future generations. For WIPO, this remains a major goal in its public outreach activities.
The Arts and Copyright is also available in Chinese , French , and Spanish .
WIPO Comic Books
The WIPO comic books convey basic IP concepts through 12-page comic strips covering Trademarks , Copyright and Patents . Developed in cooperation with INDECOPI, the Peruvian National Institute for the Defense of Competition and Intellectual Property, the books narrate the adventures of four adolescents, during which they learn what trademarks, copyright and patents are, and how they and society at large can benefit from them.
While the WIPO comic books are primarily geared towards students from 8 to 12 years' old, higher-level students and adults have found them useful in providing a basic understanding of IP issues. An animated version of the Copyright comic book is available at the WIPO YouTube channel.
The WIPO Comic Books are also available in Arabic, (Trademarks , Copyright , Patents ), Chinese (Trademarks , Copyright , Patents ), French (Trademarks , Copyright , Patents ), Russian (Trademarks , Copyright , Patents ) and Spanish (Trademarks , Copyright , Patents ).
Your Own World of IP
The Your Own World of IP booklet lets readers explore the different forms of intellectual property (copyright, patents, designs, trademarks and geographical indications) and the central role they play in our daily life. Designed for 12 to 19-year-olds, the booklet illustrates how abstract IP rights influence everyday products (including books, clothing, consumer electronics, food and music) and enrich many aspects of our lives.
Your Own World of IP is also available in Chinese , French and Spanish .

After ten years of writing about games professionally and three decades playing them just for fun, I don't get intimidated easily. But all that changed with Dark Souls. Having not played Demon's Soul, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. All I knew is that Demon's Souls had a reputation for being excruciatingly difficult and massive in both scope and ambition. I was scared. As I started to face my fears, I realized that Dark Souls was exactly the type of game that has been missing from the Xbox 360 library.
Going into Dark Souls the player is given almost no information. The eight page instruction manual offers almost no support and the in-game tutorial is practically non-existent. You can go in one of three directions, each more horrifying than the last. If it's not the walking undead, then it is ghosts you can't hit or skeletons you can't kill. With nobody there to help you and nothing pointing the way to the next objective, things seem hopeless.
But fear not, because learning the rules of this new world is part of what makes Dark Souls so compelling. Instead of playing by the conventions of modern adventure games, From Software's newest game rewrites the rules and forces players to learn from trial, error and lots and lots of dying. This is a game about discovery. Not just exploring the unbelievably immersive world, but discovering how to simply survive in this brutal world.
Dark Souls plays out like a grown-up version of The Legend of Zelda. You won't find any turn-based combat here; instead this is a straight-up action game with light role-playing elements. The four shoulder buttons are split between weapon attacks and defensive moves. Players will have a choice between hundreds of weapons, including traditional long swords, crossbows, hammers, battle axes and so on. There is also a deep magic system, though in true Dark Souls fashion it doesn't even begin to explain how to cast the spells.
What you'll quickly discover is that in the Dark Souls universe nearly every enemy is a big threat, no matter how small they appear. Whether by themselves or in large groups, the enemies put up a good fight. Knowing which weapon to use and how to properly defend yourself is a must, especially if you want to stand a chance against the game's many impressive bosses. It doesn't take long to die in Dark Souls.
As foreign as things seem at the start, there are a few rules you'll be forced to learn the hard way. Like most role-playing games, every time you defeat an enemy you are given a certain amount of souls (the game's version of money/experience points). You use these souls to level up your character and buy items/weapons. But here's the thing, when you die you will drop all of those souls and start back over at the nearest bonfire (the game's version of a checkpoint). The good news is that players can make their way back to where they died and retrieve your dropped souls. But there's a catch: All of the enemies will respawn and if you die along the way those dropped souls are gone for good.
When you're not stressing out about your collection of souls, you'll be busy exploring the game's gigantic landscape. The levels themselves are more closed off than other open-world role-playing games (such as The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion), but that doesn't mean that it linear. Every one of the game's stages (which include forests, lava-filled caverns, zombie-filled towns, a ghost castle and dozens of other fantasy-related locales) has plenty of diverging paths. Best of all, the way these stages interconnect with the rest of the game makes traversing the large world a breeze.
It's hard to grasp how much content there is in Dark Souls. I put in more than 80 hours before writing this review and still have a number of areas left to explore. With so many paths and treasures to find, I can see my first play through being well over 150 hours. And that doesn't even take into account the different character types and play styles I can dabble with in a new save.
At times it may feel like you're struggling by yourself in this large, brutally tough world. But in Dark Souls you're never alone. Ghost-like versions of other players roam the land, giving you a glimpse of how other people are playing. What's more, the other players can leave brief notes for everybody else, warning of impending danger or pointing the way to hidden treasure. But beware, not every note is on the up and up. You shouldn't jump off a cliff just because somebody told you to.
Outside of leaving notes, players can interact with other fans in two more compelling ways. The first allows our hero to summon help. By making a white notation, players allow a stranger to come in and help with a tough battle. This is especially useful when dealing with the game's many large boss battles. But don't get too excited, because your helper can only stick around for a short amount of time.
The other type of player interaction is a lot more sinister. By using a special item you will be able to invade somebody else's game, essentially turning it into a one-on-one fight to the death. Here you'll trade hits until somebody dies, giving up all of their souls and humanity. This adds an unexpected element to the game, forcing players to always be prepared for a fight. There is very little time for rest and relaxation in the land of Dark Souls.
Even though I found myself dying a lot, I was always compelled to keep playing. Although some of the deaths were heartbreaking, I always felt like I learned a little more each time. Because the game plays it fair (rarely stooping to cheap deaths) I rarely came away frustrated. If I died it was usually my own fault, which only hardened my resolve.
Part of what kept me going was the promise of large boss battles. In this case, Dark Souls most certainly delivers. The game is packed full of gigantic creatures for you to kill. Many of these baddies tower above you, intimidating anybody that dares get close. You'll fight off giant dragons, gargoyles, lizards and even a wolf with a giant sword in his mouth. Every one of these battles is breathtaking; with visuals so good they're deadly. You have a lot of ways of handling each one of these events, though usually there's an easy way to hit the beast's weakness. Sometimes it's as simple as rushing him from behind, while in another situation you will want to lure the mountain-sized villain to a giant hole in the ground.
These battles are often difficult, but that's what makes beating them so satisfying. What seems impossible at first becomes very doable with a little practice. That's really the message of the entire game. Dark Souls will beat you down at every turn, but that's just going to make you stronger. It's going to drop you into the most challenging world imaginable and not teach you a you how to do even the most basic functions. It's going to seem impossible at first, but with a little work you can take control of this world and use it as your playground. Finally climbing the steep learning curve is one of the greatest feelings I've had in years.
As much as I loved spending time in Dark Souls, the game is marred by a number of small problems. The biggest issue involves the frame rate, which can be spotty at times. Climbing up and down ladders can often cause the frame rate to drop down to the single digits. I also noticed this happen in the middle of fights, which can be a real nuisance late in the game.
The game also does a terrible job of warning players not to use party chat or go offline. I learned the hard way that joining an Xbox Live party will, without warning, end my game and shoot me to the title screen. The same thing happens when your internet gets disconnected. Thankfully you start out right where you left off, so you normally won't lose any progress. Still, it would have been nice to get some sort of warning before exiting the game in the most jarring way possible.
Dark Souls doesn't require a deep narrative to players invested in this world. Instead of gives you a steep challenge and dares you to overcome the difficulty. This will prove too much for some gamers. But those who take the journey will be rewarded with one of the deepest, most impressive adventure games released in years. Dark Souls is a real treat that will have you talking long after you've finished the adventure.

School of Medicine > Academic Societies > Advising > Advising Info - Students
Students are required to meet with their advisors in their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years, twice per year - once each semester. You can find your advisor by going to your Society's web page, then "students" and finding your name.
Your advisor will guide you through your advising session. This is a chance for you to have a conversation about how things are going - professionally, personally, and academically. The session is not graded and the content is not reported to any office or individual. Take advantage of this time to seek advice from a faculty member who likely has experience in navigating medical school and its challenges.
Questions you might ask:
How did you find work/life balance while in medical school?
What did you find most challenging in medical school and how did you overcome it?
How did you chose your specialty?
How does your specific specialty affect your work/life balance?
Students must complete two discrete advising sessions per year

(I remember when Rumsfeld put food and water privatization (read: Halliburton) on the table. The real defense people I knew were flabbergasted that a Secretary of Defense would increase the risk of supply line sabotage on troops in the battlefield.)
One of you Army guys: whats the "correct" caloric intake for someone who is deployed to an active zone these days? 3300 calories or something like that?

Excellent Product
By Hiker70

Comments about HP 940XL (C4906AN140) Black High-Yield Ink Cartridge:
Started using XL and found that the same quality was there for color (or black) but cartridge lasted much longer.

Very close laser quality in printing.
HP Ink

This product has always been reliable and never an issue. Staples always seems to have the best prices plus once in awhile have a good deal to boot.
Cartridges work great.
By Jerry T
from Moses lake WA
Pleased with the cartridges but still feel the price way out of line for the number of copies we get. It would also be very helpful if it was possible to tell when the cartridge is really critical to be changed, I feel we waste a lot of copies as we likely change them before they're really critical.
HP 940XL Blank Ink Cartridge (C4906AN)
By Brenda
from Harrisonburg, VA
HP did a great thing by creating an "extended" cartridge. I utilize them mostly to do bulletins for our small church, that is unable to pay or use the 'professional' -type bulletins that are sold in religious stores. When I became a member, I offered to do them "free", only asking once in a while for a rebate of ink or paper monies. When I purchased the 940 (no XL) I found myself running out of ink much sooner than with the new XL type. Therefore, I do not have to ask my church for any reimbursements as often; sometimes not at all. Thank you HP....
By Cynthia
from Moultrie
able to print more copies with the xl than the regular or generic cartiridge. Easy to install. Very easy to clean up. User friendly with ease of installation and removal of old cartiridge. Easy to find in stor or on line. Purchases are easy with onlne assistance or in store assitance reallly helpful when selecting the right cartiridge for the printer. Easy reward points for turning in the used cartidges and receiving more reward points. Packaging is easy to open not adult proof. Easy to throw away or recylce the box that it was packaged in. Qualityof print is excellent.
really long lasting
By Dad Dave
from New Jersey
great cartridgeit really runs a long time before the light comes on.But make sure that you don't replace it when the light comes on the printer.Keep going. you will get a lot more pages. Keep printing until the printer stops. it will make hundreds more pages.I think HP is trying to get you to buy more cartridges by turning on the light before the cartridge is really empty.The copy quality is identical after the light is on. No smears, skips or print voids. It will finally stop when the cartridge is really empty.Then you can replace the cartridge.
Great product that lasts.
By Chip65
from Undisclosed
The cartridge was easy to install. It has a great reservoir of ink. The unit lasts a long time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

NEW YORK — The Cyndi Lauper-scored "Kinky Boots" has earned a leading 13 Tony Award nominations, with the British import "Matilda: The Musical" close behind with 12.
"Kinky Boots" is based on the 2005 British movie about a real-life shoe factory that struggles until it finds new life in fetish footwear. Lauper's songs and a story by Harvey Fierstein have made it a crowd-pleaser.
"It's so great. It's so great. I'm done crying a little bit. But I'm still thrilled and a little stunned," Lauper said.
RELATED: List of Tony Award nominations
The haul did not match the record number of nominations for a musical, which is 15, set by "The Producers" in 2001 and "Billy Elliot" in 2009.
"Lucky Guy," Nora Ephron's portrait of Mike McAlary, a gutsy New York City newspaper columnist who won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing that a Haitian immigrant had been sodomized by police officers in 1997, got six nominations, including one for Tom Hanks as McAlary.
"This makes me both giddy and nervous, and it could not be more special," Hanks said. "Before this began, I thought I knew what it would be like. But you can't imagine what it is. There's the muscle and the brain, but also the spirit and the heart. And it's fun, if fun also incorporates a huge amount of fear."
In addition to Hanks, the leading actor in a play nominees are Nathan Lane for "The Nance," Tracy Letts from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," David Hyde Pierce from "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike," and Tom Sturridge from "Orphans."
"Matilda: The Musical" is a witty musical adaptation of the novel by Roald Dahl and is true to his bleak vision of childhood as a savage battleground.
Both "Kinky Boots" and "Matilda" will compete for the best musical prize with the acrobatic "Bring It On: The Musical" and "A Christmas Story, The Musical," adapted from the beloved holiday movie.
Among the flurry of nominations, "Kinky Boots" also earned Fierstein a nod for best book, David Rockwell got one for sets, Jerry Mitchell for both directing and for choreography, and nominations for its two leading men, Billy Porter and Stark Sands. Annaleigh Ashford earned a featured role nomination.
"Matilda" earned nominations for choreography, Matthew Warchus' directing, Chris Nightingale's orchestrations, best book by Dennis Kelly, Tim Minchin for lyrics and songs, and Bertie Carvel for best leading role in a musical.
Some big names snubbed this year were Jessica Chastain, Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Katie Holmes, Bette Midler, Sigourney Weaver, Paul Rudd and Scarlett Johansson. Emilia Clarke of HBO's "Game of Thrones" didn't get a nomination for "Breakfast at Tiffany's," but the show came up empty Tuesday.
The best musical revival candidates are "Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella," "Annie," "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and "Pippin," which nabbed 10 nominations.
Patina Miller, last on Broadway as the heroine of "Sister Act," stepped into the Ben Vereen role of Leading Player in "Pippin" and earned her second straight nomination.
The producers of "Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella" saw both their Cinderella — Laura Osnes — and her prince — Santino Fontana — nominated for leading roles in a musical.
Kenneth Posner had a great morning. The lighting designer got three nominations — for "Kinky Boots," "Pippin" and "Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella." He will face off against Hugh Vanstone, the lighting designer for "Matilda: The Musical."
The best play nominees are Richard Greenberg's "The Assembled Parties," Ephron's "Lucky Guy," Colm Toibin's "The Testament of Mary" and Christopher Durang's "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike."
Durang's play earned Billy Magnussen a best featured actor nomination. He plays a somewhat dim boy toy in the play about a pair of depressive middle-aged siblings whose movie-star sister threatens to upend their quiet life.
The revival of Clifford Odets' "Golden Boy," a play about a young man torn between his natural talent as a violinist and the fast money and fame of being a boxer, earned eight nominations, the most for any play.
Playwright Douglas Carter Beane earned a best book nomination for the lush, big musical "Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella," but not for his more intimate play "The Nance," although it earned five nods.
The awards will be broadcast on CBS from Radio City Music Hall on June 9.
